Hi fellow Monks!
So,here is the deal...
I am taking a course and I am supposed to write small perl scripts, BUT, it seems that i have forgotten the basics :)
For example, if it asks:
Use a loop to write all numbers between 1 and 10

[download]

I could do it by simply
for ($j=1; $j<=10; $j++)
{
    print "$j\n";
}

, but, is there a way of doing it with a while loop?

Another one: 
Calculate the factorial for a user-defined number.

[download]

again here I could use Module from Perl, but the idea is to write it again by using while loop.
Can you give me some suggestions?
